The only time unprotected sex is safe is if you and your partner have sex only with each other, and if it's been at least six months since you each tested negative for STDs. Use latex condoms every time you have sex. If you use a lubricant, make sure it's water-based. Use condoms for the entire sex act.
Triglycerides: The major form of fat stored by the body. A triglyceride consists of three molecules of fatty acid combined with a molecule of the alcohol glycerol.Triglycerides serve as the backbone of many types of lipids (fats).Triglycerides come from the food we eat as well as from being produced by the body.Triglyceride levels are influenced by recent fat and alcohol intake, and should be measured after fasting for at least 12 hours.riglycerides serve as the backbone of many types of lipids (fats).

Medium-chain triglycerides (or MCTs for short) are made up of medium-chain fatty acids. The âmediumâ refers to the length of their chemical structure: all fats are made up of strings of carbon and hydrogen.Short-chain fats (e.g. butyric acid) have fewer than 6 carbons.edium-chain fats are in the middle, with 6 to 12. There are three separate fatty acids classified as medium-chain triglycerides: 1  Caproic acid (also called hexanoic acid or C6:0). 2  Caprylic acid (also called octanoic acid or C8:0).
